All writers have a pipeline that goes down to the subconscious neglecting to mention that he doubted more as each year passed if there even was such a thing as a subconscious. But the man or woman who writes horror stories has a pipeline that goes further maybe... into the sub-subconscious, if you like..Well there was something down there all right, but Bill though people had made much too big a deal out of a function which was probably the mental equivalent of your eyes watering when dust got in them or breaking wind an hour or so after dinner. The second metaphor was probably the better of the two, but you couldn't very well tell interviewers that as far as you are concerned such things as dreams and vague longings and sensations like deja-vu really come down to nothing more than a bunch of mental farts.
